Trump Tariff Rebate Act

HR 6781, the Trump Tariff Rebate Act, increases the standard federal income tax deduction for taxpayers filing in 2026 and 2027. It adds $4,000 to the standard deduction for joint filers or surviving spouses, $3,000 for heads of household, and $2,000 for other filers during those tax years. The bill applies only to the 2026 and 2027 tax returns (filed in 2027 and 2028) and provides a temporary tax benefit based on filing status. It does not relate to actual tariff refunds but uses "tariff rebate" as a defined tax provision name.
